Mahomes eats up zone defenses. He actually is less effective against Cover 1... but less effective to him is still good... so don't take that as he's not good against cover 1. Just that his passer rating I think is the lowest against Cover 1.
So maybe Philly fans are confused and want to bring 1 safety down instead of 2 high.
I would have made Mahomes run. Don't care if he gave up yards.. just more chances to tackle him and make him more gimpy.
Problem is.. Eagles front 4 got little pressure on him.
Everyone will pick on the defense and say.. should have ran this, should have ran that.
But if you get little pressure and you aren't used to getting little pressure, it really changes the game.
Again, I haven't seen Philly all year.. but doesn't seem to be much disguise in the D either. Or, could be that Reid just flushes out what the Defense is with all the motion they run. Anyway, not that Mahomes isn't good at different D looks... actually the worst 2 in the league against disguised coverage is Jimmy G and Matthew Stafford. This was the 2021 season. Makes sense for Jimmy G and why he's good against the Rams. But Matt Stafford being one of the worst at this as well makes you wonder.
